21 Jun 2011 Last updated at 7:33 amSri Lanka in England(2011). Teams needed to maintain their excellent start.

In forthcoming series, the Sri Lankans need to take advantage of the start they get(both in batting & bowling).

In England, Sri Lanka had played 6 games & in those games (12 innings) their average opening stand has been brilliant @ 76.07 (3 double century stand, & 3 fifties). This allowed them to post huge score. Same was the case in last Test series against West Indies at home, where their batsmen performed brilliantly.

Meanwhile their bowlers did a honest job of picking the first wicket very early, considering that their bowling attack is fairly inexperience, with both Muralitharan & Malinga retiring from Test cricket.

However if they have to become a force in Test cricket, & win more games overseas, then they require genuine set of fast swing bowlers, & right now they have Suranga Lakmal who is excellent with the new ball, although his experience is limited to 5 Tests matches, & has picked 10 wickets, but, good part for the Lankans is, out those dismissals, six batsmen were(60 %) dismissed for less than 10 runs, which says a lot on how he is able to use the new ball against quality batsmen.

If Chanaka  Welegedara can get his radar right which is not easy for a left-armer, then both he and Lakmal can trouble the best  batting side in world cricket. Like Lakmal, Welegedara has played few Test matches, but good part for him is, that  47.36% of victims as bowled & LBW!!.

Sri Lanka bowlers fail to capitalise!.

Despite getting an excellent start by opening bowlers, host teams manage to post big scores against the islanders. Here is a GFX of how Lankans bowlers fail to capitalise the start they attained

 

 

Sri Lanka v West Indies (2010)

Before the tour of England, Sri Lanka hosted West Indies to play a 3-Test series last Dec. Although there was no result in any of those games, but the Lankan openers(batting pair, & opening pair of bowlers) did a commendable job

Tests Sri Lanka Opening Pair Wes Indies Opening Pair
1st Test 378 all out 6 580-9 110
2nd Inn 241-4 102 Did not bat Did not bat
2nd Test 387-9dec 10 243 all out 7
2nd Inn 57-1 55 12-2 9
3rd Test Did not bat Did not bat 303-8 0
2nd Inn Did not bat Did not bat Did not bat Did not bat

The Rose Bowl

Did openers lose opportunity at Southampton!.

Weather did play a big part in depriving both teams of a result. This venue has been helpful for seam and swing bowling, especially in the first session of a day. However after that it becomes easy for batsmen to score plenty of runs, & so far this is only the second time weather intervened at Rose Bowl.

Here is a GFX of 1st class games played this year at Rose Bowl.

A snap shot of teams scores & opening stand,  both for Hampshire(home side) & visiting sides.

6+/over % 6 => runs conceded in an over
10+/over % 10 = > runs conceded in an over

 

 

The Gap Factor

All teams want to win a cricket match, or at least not lose one.

Batting side(offense) will always want to score more runs in less balls, at same time lose less wickets. On the other hand the bowling side(defense) wants to pick wickets in less balls, and concede less runs.

This reflects their strength and weakness. To find out how they go about it in terms of data/stats/numbers – we deviced something called “The gap factor”.

Its similar to NRR but with only one calculation – minus the batting performance with bowling performance. If the numbers is in plus figure than that team is doing well in that particular indicator, but if the numbers are in minus figure than that team is performing poorly in  that department.
